HAd a 'i'm going to die right now' moment tonight when picking my son up from school. Decided there was something wrong with my stomach that was going to make me die there and then. Ended up in doctors sobbing She prescribed buspirone. Of course i've googled. Has anybody found this of any use? Terrified as usual. x
I took it for 3 weeks and it didn't help me.. I take ativan 0.5 mg and it works great but very addicting.. But at this point if its gonna help then I'm gonna take it..
I take buspirone, it's none addictive but takes 2-4 weeks to get into the system then the benefits slowly kick in. If you need something to take when your anxiety kicks in before the buspirone has started to work you could ask for a benzo like diazepam or Ativan.
If the benzo's are taken as prescribed and for a short time (2 months max) there is little chance of addiction.
Is the buspirone helping you? How many mg do you take a day?
